One character in this work has a dream about a man with a skull-face carrying a baby skewered on his bayonet and a bucket marked poison who throws the poison into her family's ancestral well. Another vision in this work centers on a "forest of inhuman voices" whose songs become arrows that pierce the heart of one woman's lover. The main character lets Chuck Rouncivale write her theatre review and earlier commiserates with her co-worker Mary Townsend about being coerced into buying a Liberty Bond. The protagonist compares the hands of Nurse Tanner to white tarantulas while she is being treated by Dr. Hildesheim, and this work begins with a dream in which a lady rides on her pony Graylie alongside a mysterious stranger. The protagonist of this novella recovers from influenza and resumes her job working at the Blue Mountain News only to discover her lover Adam Barclay has ironically died of influenza during her illness. Grouped as the title work of a collection of three novellas including Old Mortality and Noon Wine, for 10 points, name this novella about Miranda, written by Katherine Anne Porter.
